Someone I work with has just taken an ECDL exam (www.ecdl.org - or similar).

She came to ask me about one of the questions that she couldn't answer which was What does DAUB measure?

I've never heard of this in an IT context. Has anyone else? I do however have a theory about the answer so I will explain it if no-one else has heard of this

thanks

steve


And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

I thought DAUB was what you did over the top of something to prevent it being measured!

Well the only thing I can think of is that it's a Typo and it's mean to be BAUD

I remember a well known IT journalist (Guy Kewenney I think) writing an article that someone had sent him an email about a brilliant tow line program to do function X.

He scratched his head to work out what a "tow line program" might be, assuming some new jargon/acronym before realising it was a typo!

Next time I see one of the ECDL bigwigs I'll ask him what the answer is :)
